Which Bible version? Funny isn't it...if i (carefully, prayerfully) typed out a complete chapter or two,

and emailed it to all my (nonexistant) 30,000 farcebook friends, my biggest problem would be being (perhaps rudely) unfriended by many of them, and likely trolled by a few angry agnostic/atheists.  Yeah whatever.

One problem i would not have to deal with is:  lawyers.  That is, if the text i had sent was from the regular (not the new) King James Bible.  If i lived in England (Canada or Australia, not sure of) then i would have to get permission from the crown/government, i guess.  (And the American colonies said nuts to all that...)  But typing out from any other version of the Bible, even just a fraction of a chapter, and emailing that to a mere 300 of your internet pals...that could spell "copyright violation."

On the inside cover of one of those newFANGled bibles, i read the part about reproducing the text in any form...yikes.  Sounds like a buncha sno-flakes just spoiling to wage a legal battle.  Over what?  On some preacher who copies a mere three or four verses on an overhead transparency for his Sundsy service.  Or worse ;/ printing off a few verses onto a few tracts to give out to people at the train station, where he catches the commute bus.

Speaking of which, godda get ready for work.
